Call Market – is an exchange or a place where exchange is made on a specific period of time and not happen constantly. All transactions – securities buy, sell – are made at one time hence it is possible to set one price for above. Call markets most often occur if we are dealing with a few traders and a few traded transactions. The traders are never sure what the price are going to be “called”. It is concluded based on orders reported by the buyers and sellers.

An example of Call market

Let's assume that we have below transactions in order book.

• Buy 1500 shares at 10.00 $Buy700 shares at$12.00 Buy 750 shares at 11.00 $. Sell 750 shares 11.50$ Sell 700 shares 12.50 $Sell 1500 shares at 10.00$.

The price set for all transaction would be 10.00 $, and the price would be called a call price, as the ideal for the moment. It does not matter that some parties are willing to pay 12.00$ and others are willing to get ride of some of theirs assets for more than 10.00 \$.
